Activate your NetID to get started

About a week after you receive your decision, you will receive an email with your Northwestern NetID, which is used to create your Northwestern email account and log into CAESAR, Northwestern's online portal for student services. Your Northwestern email is how Medill will communicate with you, so it's important to start using your NetID and email as soon as you can.
